Abstract
When exposed to hot (22–35 xC) and dry climatic conditions in the field during the final 4–6 weeks of pod filling, peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) can accumulate highly carcinogenic and immunosuppressing aflatoxins. Forecasting of the risk posed by these conditions can assist in minimizing preharvest contamination. A model was therefore developed as part of the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) peanut module, which calculated an aflatoxin risk index (ARI) using four temperature response functions when fractional available soil water was<0.20 and the crop was in the last 0.40 of the pod-filling phase....
